法苑珠林 46.28

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [46.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.46.28)

心為法心　心尊心中　使心作惡  
即言即行　罪苦自追　車轢乎轍  
心為法本　心尊心使　中心念善  
即言即行　福樂自追　如影隨形

> "The mind is the origin of dharmas; / Mind is supreme, mind is the ruler. / If one lets the mind commit evil, / Speaking or acting accordingly, / Sin and suffering will pursue him, / Like the wheel crushing the track. / The mind is the foundation of dharmas; / Mind is supreme, mind is the ruler. / If within the heart one thinks of the good, / Speaking or acting accordingly, / Merit and joy will pursue him, / Like a shadow following the form."
